-

Pearl was listed as age 27, born in Texas. They listed 3 children in census,
Inez V-age 7, Lovey M-age 4, Willie H-age 2. All children also born in
Texas.
-
1913 - Son Charles Leo Riley born 27 April 1913 in New Orleans, Louisana. He
appears to be born out of wedlock, since James/Pearl were not married until 1916.
-
1916 - Married James Stephen Riley in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisana on 1 June 1916.
-
1920 - Family listed as boarders in New Orleans Federal Census, Orleans, New
Orleans Ward 5, ED 92, Precinct 12, sheet 1B.
She was listed as Pearl Releigh age 35, born Texas and children listed were
Leo-age 6, James S-age 7/12. Both children born in Louisana. Husband
Stephen Riley was not listed, possibly due that he had died the very next
year. In 1920, Stephen Riley appears to be living in Ward 8 with sister and
her family.
-
1921 - Husband James Stephen Riley died.
-
1930 - Listed as a widow in federal census in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri. She
was listed with the surname Nicols, and children listed were sons (Charles) Leo
Riley-age 16 and James Riley-age12, both born in Louisana. Also living with the
family was Clinton Wadlington, who was the child of daughter Ruby Inez Edwards,
who had married Clarence Eugene Wadlington. Clarence Wadlington died in 1923,
and it appears some of this family came to live with his grand-mother.
With the surname now listed as Nicols, she was likely married for a 3rd time, but
it must have been very short duration. Another possibility is that this was just a
clerical error.
-
